Settlement

"Very well, Sophie! Perhaps this is the best decision you'll ever make in your life!" Seth smiled, caressing Sophie's head. He expressed immense satisfaction and said to her, "Tonight, I'll reward you again."

"Seth~~~ From now on, I am your woman, only your woman~~~~ Tell me what to do, and I'll follow you!~~~" Sophie slowly lifted her head, her eyes showing a hint of determination and admiration. She didn't spare another glance at Rick.

Perhaps, she was indeed the whore and slut that Rick accused her of being?

But what was wrong with being a whore and slut?

She loved Seth and was willing to do anything for him.

Being with Seth was the happiest and most thrilling time of Sophie's life.

In this apocalypse, familial bonds, grievances, morals, ethics, laws...

All these worldly rules and emotions had become worthless in the apocalypse.

Survival was more important than anything else.
